Saturdays like these were meant for outings in Central Park!

I can't even describe how much I love this time of year in Central Park. I especially love the Conservatory Garden as most of you know. It is one of my favorite places in the City, and when these flowers are in bloom, the world!

Morgan was also fascinated by the flowers but I actually think it was more for the hoard of bees buzzing about the flowers. He actually grabbed one that made a frantic buzzing sound and wiggled free. This kid has no fear!

He's also not the biggest fan of getting his picture taken. Good thing I like pictures of the backs of people!

Chasing the ducks. He also chased some huge swans that were bigger than him before Daddy redirected his focus.

In awe!

Learning to smell the pretty flowers. Can you tell I like these flowers...pictures much?!



Near the entrance of the gardens is this tree. We took pictures near it last year. I just love the vibrant red color!



I also like how are heads blend into the sky...must remember to have darker backdrops.

Morgan skipping and jumping through the gardens. Cody had taken Morgan for a run that morning which is why he's dressed this way. It's their Saturday morning ritual and then I get breakfast and meet them at a playground in the park. I just love fall in the city!

A few weeks ago on a beautiful Saturday morning we went down to the Sheeps Meadow in Central Park to attend a dog show/carnival thing. We don't have a dog but I enjoy looking at them and so does Morgan. After we strolled through the show we headed out onto the meadow to have a picnic and let Morgan run free. I can't really remember why Morgan was so upset but man I love this face!
It was seriously the most perfect, beautiful, glorious day and I loved every minute of it. Especially the really yummy strawberry and nutella crepe I got from a vendor. It was heaven!

This dog was massive and a great show of the many types of dogs we saw.

We passed by the Bethesda Fountain on our way in. I'm so glad it is no longer under construction. Just beautiful.

The Alice in Wonderland statue is my favorite in Central Park. I rarely get down here so I had to take the opportunity to get a picture with Morgan. I can't wait for the Tim Burton movie either!

Morgan soaring above the skyline.

I love this man!

And I love this boy!

Thank you Cody for a wonderful life!

Oh I just loved this day and my family! Yay for us!

Such beautiful pictures. So fun. Your hair has gotten so long. Mine just keep falling out. I guess I really stocked up my hair while I was pregnant!

Looks like the weather there is much nicer than here. I wish we could still go play outside and have beautiful flowers! That is awesome. Your fam has so much fun together. Love it!

Great pics. I love those flowers in the Conservatory Garden. Marc's mom was here last year around this time and I was so excited to show them to her but the park people were digging them up when we got there.
